Support education and create scholarships
The University Fund believes in equal opportunities for all and therefore invests in education through student scholarships, talent development, and entrepreneurship. This enables us to give students from all over the world the opportunity to develop their talents. Many talented and motivated students would not be able to study in Tilburg without the University Fund. Support the University Fund and contribute directly to the future of science and entrepreneurship.
“Education is something no one can take away from you, once you have it, it will be forever yours”

Create scholarships for students
Your donation helps make it possible for talented and motivated students like Taufiq to study in Tilburg. A range of scholarships have already been granted to highly talented students from around the world thanks to donations from alumni and companies with close links to Tilburg University. Of course we also offer support to Dutch students. We award top sports scholarships, exchange scholarships, and scholarships for students in financial need, for instance. Together with your support to the scholarship program we were able to help Fizzah Malik from Pakistan obtain her Master’s degree in Economics.

Donor Outreaching Honors Program“Getting sponsored for a traveling seminar in North Africa and the Middle East was one of the highlights of my time at Tilburg University. It’s great that students who wish to do something extra in their program have an opportunity to do so through the Outreaching Program. Moreover, I am enthralled to still be slightly involved, albeit fifty years on, in the way in which students structure their academic training nowadays.”

Give refugees like Dina the opportunity of a bright future
There are many young talented, ambitious refugees in the Netherlands, who will not inevitably be able to study at a university. This is due to language barriers or the fact that their previous qualifications do not meet the Dutch requirements for admission to university. Your donation will help us to offer these talented, ambitious refugees an opportunity to develop further and ensure that they can move on from a pre-Bachelor’s program to a university degree program.
Support our talented students in their development

Marienburg Campus Fund
In 2019, the Marienburg Campus Fund was established as a Named Fund within the University Fund. This fund supports international students who have the talent but not the means to study at JADS. The fund continues the tradition of learning and passing on knowledge that the Sisters of the Society of Jesus, Mary and Joseph began in 1825.
By 2022, a total of six students from countries such as Iran, Zimbabwe, China, Peru and India have received scholarships. They can further develop their talents at Tilburg University.
Charitas for Charitas
The "Fundatie Charitas" and Tilburg University Fund have established the Charitas for Charitas Fund in 2022. On Feb. 1, in the presence of the last sister of Charitas, the parties involved festively signed the agreement at the convent in Roosendaal. The Charitas for Charitas Fund makes scholarships available to (religious) women from emerging and developing countries. These scholarships offer these students the opportunity to pursue education at Tilburg University in the field of healthcare and religious life.
This year, 2 students from Iran, one from India and one from China received a scholarship from this fund to further develop their talents.
